Washington: While landing at Montana Airport in America, a small plane collided with an aircraft parked here. This caused a huge fire in the plane.

However, no one on board the plane has suffered serious injuries.

FAA said

According to the FAA, the Socata TBM 700 turboprop aircraft collided with an empty plane parked on the ground. The fire that followed spread to the grassy area and black smoke rose. The Montana airport is in the southern part of Kalispell city. Kalispell Fire Chief Jay Hagen said that a plane came from the south and met with an accident at the end of the runway. After this, it collided with the plane parked there. The plane caught fire. Earlier, the pilot and three passengers on board the plane managed to get out on their own. Hagen said that two passengers were slightly injured, who were treated at the airport.

"I heard the crash and the area was filled with black smoke," said Ron Danielson, who runs a lodge. "It sounded like you put your head in a bass drum and someone beat it with all your might." According to FAA records, the plane was built in 2011 and is owned by Meter Sky LLC in Pullman, Washington. Aviation safety consultant Jeff Guzzetti said general aviation has several incidents a year in which planes collide with parked aircraft.

Earlier in February, a Learjet owned by Motley Crue singer Vince Neil slid off a runway in Scottsdale, Arizona, and hit a parked Gulfstream train, killing one person. The NTSB said the crash may have been related to earlier damage to the landing gear.
